Vaults are automated strategies that manage liquidity according to predefined strategy rules. You deposit assets into a Vault, and the Vault strategy manages the underlying liquidity. Yield may accrue from trading fees, rewards, or other strategy mechanics, depending on the Vault and market conditions.
Vault deposits involve risk, including strategy risk, smart contract risk, token price movement, slippage, liquidity conditions, transaction costs, and market conditions. Yield is not guaranteed.

Vaults on Orca

Vaults are automated liquidity strategies.You deposit assets into a Vault, and the strategy manages the underlying liquidity according to its design. Yield may accrue depending on trading activity, rewards, fees, strategy performance, and market conditions.Vaults may require less manual management than standard liquidity positions, but you should still review your position, strategy details, and risks.
Vaults can simplify parts of liquidity provision by managing liquidity ranges and rebalancing according to the Vault strategy.Outcomes are not guaranteed. Vault performance depends on the strategy, market conditions, liquidity, trading activity, fees, rewards, and token price movement.
  1. Choose a Vault
  2. Deposit tokens, using one or both supported assets where available
  3. The strategy allocates liquidity according to its rules
  4. Yield may accrue over time
  5. Withdraw where available, subject to strategy, liquidity, network, and transaction conditions
Vaults may support single-token deposits and withdrawals through Autoswap.Autoswap may swap tokens to help match the required deposit or withdrawal ratio. You may also be able to choose the route source used for the swap.You do not need to swap manually before depositing or withdrawing, but you should still review the quoted output, price impact, fees, slippage setting, route source, and final amounts before confirming.

What the strategy does

Each Vault runs a strategy that may:
  • Allocate liquidity across price ranges
  • Rebalance as market conditions change
  • Compound yield back into the position, where applicable
  • Manage liquidity according to predefined strategy rules
Vault strategies are automated, but they do not remove risk. Review strategy details, Vault capacity, APY, token pair, and transaction details before depositing.

​
What you see on a Vault page

Clicking into a Vault opens its detail page. Four sections are useful to review:

Vault Strategy

A short label at the top describes the strategy type. For example, Fixed Range may indicate a Vault that deploys liquidity across a predetermined range.

Vault Info

​
Vault Capacity

Vaults may have limits on how much they can accept. If a Vault is near capacity, your deposit may be capped or rejected.

​
My Position and Transaction History

If you have deposited, the My Position section shows your Vault position. The About and Transaction History tabs let you switch between Vault strategy details and your own activity.
